Now all we need is a terminal application and it'll be all good.

Agreed. Very nice though.

I heard (read) there might be an app to SSH from the iPhone, but that's about it. And I don't think it would be free.

According to my friend with a 3G iPhone, he got (or will get) an app that allows him to run SSH through his browser, or somesuch like that, so that the app won't terminate when switching around, or whatever. I don't know because I have an Openmoko, which comes out of the box with a terminal. :P

this is very cool but does it crash for everyone else a lot?

edit - i lowered the resolution and it works a lot better
